Eugene "Gene" Clancy hails from Armagh Northern Ireland. In 1960, after forming a Ceili Band and playing at Irish Country dances and concerts throughout Ireland, Eugene and his brothers left ireland to tour the US and the Irish Ramblers. The Irish Ramblers (Pat, Eugene and Brendan Clancy) toured for 3 years and in 1963 recorded the album, The Patriot Game on Electra Records.
Eugene continued the musical tradition with his children and members of his extended family forming "The Clancy Tradition" in the early 80's. Eugene plays guitar and is the main vocalist for the group. He has played in Carnegie Hall, Donnelly Memorial Theater, Soldiers Field in Chicago, The Gate Horn, Usher Hall, Edinburgh Scotland, Gertys Folk City and The Bitter End.
"Ordinary music for ordinary people," Eugene likes to say of the Clancy Tradition's playing and singing, but the listener will find it anything but ordinary. From those Sunday afternoons in Armagh many years ago, to the Wednesday night sessions at Eugene and Cecilia's home, their music keeps faith with the past and rouses the soul of all who hear them.
